ORIGINAL:
The requests have been answered. There is now glass recycling in Pocatello.
The sanitation department says many people have reached out about wanting to recycle glass. “Momentum Recycling” in Salt Lake reached out and agreed to receive the collected glass.
The people of Pocatello are excited.
“We have had so much response on Facebook, phone calls, everything. My friends are all like ‘Yay, finally!’ so yes, it’s a great thing, we just put them out this morning and this one behind me was about a quarter of the way full,” says Debbie Brady, Recycling Coordinator.
There are locations at City Hall, Costco, Old Town, Holt Arena, Riddley’s and Albertsons.
